Writing

5 Read about the actor, Johnny Depp. Then make notes in the table.

Johnny Depp was born in 1963 in Kentucky in the US. His father was
an engineer and his mother was a waitress. He was a very shy boy, and
the family moved a lot because of his father’s job.

When he was 16, Johnny left school and joined a band called The Kids.
But he didn’t make any money and lived in his friend’s car for a long
time.

His first movie role was in 1984, in the film Nightmare on Elm Street.
After that, he started to take serious acting lessons and got a part in a TV show called 21 Jump
Street. In 1990, he was very lucky to get the main role in Edward Scissorhands, which became
a very successful movie. Since then, Johnny Depp has been in many films, usually playing
strange characters. Of course, his most famous role is as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates
of the Caribbean movies.
